`Mounts` allows users to specify in a much safer way the volumes they
want to use in the container.
This replaces `Binds` and `Volumes`, which both still exist, but
`Mounts` and `Binds`/`Volumes` are exclussive.
The CLI will continue to use `Binds` and `Volumes` due to concerns with
parsing the volume specs on the client side and cross-platform support
(for now).
The new API follows exactly the services mount API.
Example usage of `Mounts`:
```
$ curl -XPOST localhost:2375/containers/create -d '{
"Image": "alpine:latest",
"HostConfig": {
"Mounts": [{
"Type": "Volume",
"Target": "/foo"
},{
"Type": "bind",
"Source": "/var/run/docker.sock",
"Target": "/var/run/docker.sock",
},{
"Type": "volume",
"Name": "important_data",
"Target": "/var/data",
"ReadOnly": true,
"VolumeOptions": {
"DriverConfig": {
Name: "awesomeStorage",
Options: {"size": "10m"},
Labels: {"some":"label"}
}
}]
}
}'
```
There are currently 2 types of mounts:
- **bind**: Paths on the host that get mounted into the
container. Paths must exist prior to creating the container.
- **volume**: Volumes that persist after the
container is removed.
Not all fields are available in each type, and validation is done to
ensure these fields aren't mixed up between types.

This directory holds the authoritative specifications of APIs defined and implemented by Docker. Currently this includes:
- The remote API by which a docker node can be queried over HTTP
- The registry API by which a docker node can download and upload images for storage and sharing
- The index search API by which a docker node can search the public index for images to download
- The docker.io OAuth and accounts API which 3rd party services can use to access account information
